Warner will be joining other BD-exclusive suppliers Sony Pictures Home Entertainment, Walt Disney Home Entertainment, 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment and Lionsgate. Time Warner divisions New Line Home Entertainment and HBO Video are also included in the move to Blu-ray.

Bring on Lord of the Rings. Blu-exclusive. I know on other forums, some ants are saying that they are still in this fight. But not against a flagship trilogy such as this. I think movies such as these (along with Star Wars) are the ones that will really help push HDM more into the mainstream.

Great news! HD DVD has no chance of winning now. I'm glad I invested in the right format!

Dear New Line,

Please put Se7en, Dumb and Dumber, Austin Powers, Nightmare on Elm Street, and Blade on Blu immediately.

Thank You.

u_nick · 01-05-2008, 12:35 AM

Wow, I had no idea HBO would fall into this as well.

I second the vote for Se7en. That is an excellent film.

Yes. Warner / New Line / HBO all go with this deal. That alone wipes out right around 33 - 35% of the entire HD DVD library.

I dont know about the others but I would buy the Blade boxset!!! That will be great to see on Blu. I can only imagine how the AQ would be.

LOTR ends it all, but that is still a ways off. My guess is those is charge will play a Lucas-esque hand in this and look for extreme control. I hope it comes soon though.

Warner: New Line, HBO Not Covered By Blu-ray Announcement

http://www.highdefdigest.com/news/sh...ouncement/1328

quexos · 01-05-2008, 12:50 AM

Well I just read an article over at highdefdigest saying that HBO and New Line Cinema are not covered by Warner's decision. So its up to those companies to decide for themselves.

No problem, as new line's part, it want to much more to be blu than WB. Since it delays HDDVD release, release blu-ray titles which bitrate that HDDVD can't handle, which WB never did before.

jeffcapfiat · 01-05-2008, 01:03 AM

The article says that New Line and HBO haven't announced where they stand yet but with New Line already serving up Blu-ray titles way in advance of their HD-DVD counterpart, I think its a safe bet they will soon follow suit. I imagine Warner simply wanted New Line to make their own announcement. If Warner were to have announced New Line at the same time it might appear that New Line wasn't in control of their own ship. It's a dignity thing. No one likes having other people forcing them to do anything. This way New Line retains their autonomy from Warner by going Blu with their own announcement without hurting their relationship with the parent company by leaning red in any way. If you ask me, New Line appeared ready to go Blu first by giving us first crack at their titles and feeding the DUDs the leftovers. LOTR exclusive anyone? If that's not a silver bullet, I don't know what is.
